Resin-supported catalyst and method for preparing resin-supported catalyst

Abstract

Provided is a resin-supported catalyst including a cured body of a thermosetting resin and fine particles having catalytic activity supported onto the surface of the cured body, in which the thermosetting resin has a phenolic hydroxyl group.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for preparing a resin-supported catalyst comprising:
 a curing step for curing a phenol resin; and 
 a supporting step for supporting fine particles having catalytic activity onto the surface of the cured body obtained in the curing step, 
 wherein, the fine particles are formed by a material composed of any one or more kinds of metals, metal oxides and metal compounds, 
 the supporting step includes a reducing step for reducing the fine particles by the phenolic hydroxyl group, 
 a phenolic hydroxyl equivalent of the phenol resin is equal to or greater than 30 g/eq and equal to or less than 500 g/eq, and 
 the reducing step is a step in which a reducing agent is not used. 
 
     
     
       2. The method for preparing a resin-supported catalyst according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein, the fine particles are formed by a material including any one or more kinds of metals composed of titanium, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, rhenium, osmium, platinum, iron, zinc, manganese, magnesium, calcium, silver, vanadium and tin, and the oxides thereof, other metal compounds formed of organic titanium and complexes. 
 
     
     
       3. The method for preparing a resin-supported catalyst according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein, the curing step is a step in which the phenol resin is cured at 250° C. or lower. 
 
     
     
       4. The method for preparing a resin-supported catalyst according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein, after curing the phenol resin, the fine particles are supported onto the surface of the cured body.
